Wow! So many replies!!!
Thanks everyone.

I don't mean to sound 'smarty-pants' about this, but, I just draw what I see.

A lot of it is smudging the pencil with my finger. That's how I get the Nebulous effect.

Thanks to Andrew Durick for putting me onto the 'Astronomy Sketch of the Day' site. He too has had a sketch on there.

Nope, but I did use a SBIG drawing pad and I had a Losmandy G-11 eraser on the end of a Mogg Adapted Pencil.

3 x 2 hour exposures, Stacked in Monostax, wavelettes in Bondi, and Reddenised in PhotoShop, and finally cropped at the barbershop.
